addition to his current position of chief financial officer.
Vangold continues to focus on advancing its El Pinguico gold and silver project, which is located just 7km
south of the city of Guanajuato, Mexico.
The El Pinguico Mine:
El Pinguico is a high grade gold and silver deposit that was mined from the early 1880s until 1913. The
mining was done exclusively from the El Pinguico and El Carmen veins, which are thought to be splays
off the Mother Vein, or ‘Veta Madre.’
The Veta Madre is associated with a mega fault that outcrops for 25 kilometres and is the most
important source of precious metal mineralization in the region. The Veta Madre may cross Vangold’s
property at depth, underneath the high grade El Pinguico and El Carmen veins, but very limited drilling
has been done on the property and no drilling has attempted to encounter the Veta Madre at depth.
Historic stockpiles of mineralized material exist on surface and underground at El Pinguico which may
potentially provide feed to one of several operational mills in the Guanajuato area.
Hernan Dorado, a director of Vangold and a qualified person as defined by N ational Instrument 43-101,
Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects , has approved the scientific and technical information
contained in this news release.
